I believe that men have been conditioned to avoid using help-seeking behaviors and I have re-oriented my career to combat those flawed ideals. Becoming more well-rounded by talking about your challenges and emotions will only serve to make you a stronger man. Together we can work to learn new skills which can help you to become more efficient and balanced. Let's work together on creating and crushing some new goals.

Do you walk through your day feeling anxious and worried? Do you feel disconnected from your relationships or unable to pinpoint the feelings that keep holding you back in your life? Racing thoughts, panic attacks, social anxiety, relationship insecurity. My clients come to me seeking relief from anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and relationship difficulties that cause them to feel like they’re stuck repeating the same mistakes and getting the same results. If you are tired of feeling like you’re living your life out of a series of habits and survival then you’ve taken an important step and I’d like to work with you.

"You look at me but you don't see me. What happened to us? Where are you when I need you?". Let's be honest: maintaining an intimate relationship is really difficult. Maybe things aren't going the way they used to and you wonder if things can get better or if your best days are already behind you. Perhaps you find your partner pulling away and it scares you. Despite your efforts to reach out and close the gap...nothing works. It's like bending over backwards just to feel a spark of intimacy and you start thinking "What's the point of staying in a relationship like this?". And it makes sense. But it doesn't have to stay that way.

Are you interested in self-exploration? Are you deeply curious about yourself, where you came from and how that may affect your thoughts and behaviors? If you think about these things, you have already begun your journey to greater self-knowledge and you are in the right place to continue that journey. Get to know yourself, protect and love yourself and grow. Using self-discovery as a foundational tool, together, we will connect the knowledge of self to presenting issues causing anxiety or depression. The key to healing is understanding the past. The focus of our relationship will be self-discovery, learning who YOU are.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Justin, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor in California. I have worked in and around the field of Addictions for over a decade. Addictions grow and thrive in elements of shame and guilt, leading people to believe that they are alone and unloved in a cold, heartless and unforgiving world. However, these beliefs are a part of the illness's effect.
